Tracing / Searching

The adoption process does not just end upon adoption court process; instead, it’s a process that lasts throughout a lifetime for people involved. ISSJ recognize adoptee’s right to know and we consider tracing service a part of adoption.

Since ISSJ's establishment in 1952, ISSJ has kept all adoption records. There could be a handwritten letter from birth mother, as well as record of a child study, which are often very valuable items to adoptees who wish to know more about their birth parents.
